Topic: Deploy to Terrain then crash, anyone else?

Got a weird one, was trundling along happily and get disconnected.  Everytime I try to reconnect it disconnects me just as I finish loading terrain.

Can't see anything wrong with my connection so was wondering if anyone else has got this problem?

Ok, it's let me back in having thrown up an "isufficient privledges" error on the login screen *scratches head*

Re: Deploy to Terrain then crash, anyone else?

My client crsahes about once every hour.  50% of the time while I'm out in the wilds, and 50% of the time while either entering terminal and/or deploying to terrain.  Someone told me to turen down my graphics settings, but that does not quite make sense to me.

It just feels like good ole instability in the code.  Anyone know of any fixes and/or workarounds? I really don't want to be randomly disconnected...

Re: Deploy to Terrain then crash, anyone else?

Deploy has crashed my system now a couple of times, the bug reporter snaps into action and uploads the crash to the server.

Re: Deploy to Terrain then crash, anyone else?

Same issues here, 3-4 crashes in a couple of hours of play, during docking/undocking/teleporting.
Very annoying...

Re: Deploy to Terrain then crash, anyone else?

Yup, deploying, undocking, teleporting are all known to cause crashing and more so now than ever before.

Not sure why it's happening but it's annoying and would be nice if this could be looked into and there is more than enough data by now.

Re: Deploy to Terrain then crash, anyone else?

Just checking to see if dev team is responding to this problem, and bumping thread.  This is basic instability that badly breaks up game play.  It is to the point now that I crash 90% of the time when entering/deploying and more still for no apparent reason when I'm in the theater of operations. 

Everyone in my corp, NEX, experiences the problem, and they just say, "Oh well.  This is a known memory leaker."  For some reason they are willing to put up with it.  I guess with all the garbage we endured in EvE, this seems like nothing.  But when you think about it, client crashes simply should not be happening.  Any potential subscribers would only form negative opinions when they discover they cannot stay logged in...  Perpetuum got most of us EvE boiz in a rebound relationship as we recently divorced EvE.  I'm not sure the rest of the world would be so accepting or accommodating of the client crashes.

Here's hoping the Dev Team will look into this issue and provide a definitive fix!

Re: Deploy to Terrain then crash, anyone else?

I see the same thing, crashes several times a day... usually when docking or undocking.
The crash updater runs etc...
Removed rebooted and reinstalled a couple times still see the issue.

Same, excep the bug reporter also seems to crash on my system.....

Re: Deploy to Terrain then crash, anyone else?

Have only started playing last week and had the same problem.
One of my corp members advised to turn down / off shadows and client has been stable since.

Not shore why, maybe saves the client having to track the shadows.

Re: Deploy to Terrain then crash, anyone else?

I crash everytime the game tries to load a map.  Started with undocking giving me a Sytem Message saying"unable to connect to zone. try logging in again"; this would happen before the game started to load the area I was undocking into and continued despite re-logging and then re-installing the whole game.

Now it's moved to attempting to undock but crashing before the load is complete.  This happens everytime without fail.  I am now unable to play Perpetuum because the game cannot load without crashing.  Can we get this fixed please.

Jaik3 try to copy the Perpetuum.gbf file from your working client to the second one's folder.
